Abstract: SICK AG focuses on the development, production and sales of intelligent sensors
and sensor solutions for factory, logistics and process automation. The presentation
centers on two important technology trends at SICK AG: moving from 2D to 3D
measurement technologies and more sophisticated industrial safety systems. Mr.
Edgar Stadler will present the latest 3D product portfolio from SICK AG. He will
present the measuring principles for 3D measurement devices and describe how
the shift from 2D to 3D moves more and more features from hardware to software.
Mr. Martin Wüstefeld will present how man-machine cooperation underpins the
application and operation of safety sensors and systems. Mr. Wüstefeld will
conclude by presenting the need for safety standards before more advanced man machine cooperation can be fielded.
